“Me and my husband are from Erie, PA and stopped here while vacationing in Maine on our way to Kennebunkport. The buffalo chicken pizza looked appealing so I got us a slice and it was AMAZING. I agree with another reviewer, the pizza is better than pizza shops that specialize in pizza!! We eat our fair share of pizza, and loved so much we stopped on our way back to grab a pizza to take back to where we were staying. Great hidden gem. Staff was also super friendly which was wonderful!”

“New owners have an emphasis on smoking/vaping and alcohol. Made it just like the other two shops they own; but with sandwiches. My sandwiches have been ok so far. Update: Been back a half dozen times. The new owners are great people. They are friendly and the food area is clean to my untrained eye. I'm gonna keep coming here. I don't blame them for selling what sells.”

“Super friendly service and the BEST lobster roll I’ve ever had! It has a quaint little country store vibe from the outside with loads of charm. We have driven by a thousand times and never stopped before, I’m so glad we stopped today! Definitely worth a vist!”

“May go to local gas station. Quick service in the shop as well if you're paying cash. Prices are fairly average for in town and even though it's a smaller station I always find a place to pull up without waiting. I appreciate that the trash barrels are never overflowed and there's clearly blue windshield fluid readily available.”

“Sure, it may not look like much but it's a great little place. Their staff is friendly, and as always their gas prices are always the lowest,, and it's always good for a blast to the past with their vintage gas pumps. Paul's ll is always my first choice for filling up.”

“This place is awesome. Got a wild setup Auto garage, bistro and gas station. But they do amazing Auto work for fair price. Vip and O'Reilly's quoted me over $1,200. These guys did the work for $412 flat and way faster than I could have anticipated.”

“My prescription refill was taking a long time (> 45 days) and was expected to take even longer until Dennis looked it up and coordinated with the Pharmacist to get it filled right away as I had run out of the medicine that day. Not happy about the 45 day problem but thrilled that Dennis saved the day! He's always been great to work with!!”
37 Saco Ave, Old Orchard Beach ME 04064
“We have been stopping by their store for the last three days stocking up on prepared sandwiches for trips to the beach. Excellent deal at $4 each, great ham and chicken salads. Last night had their cheese cake slices for dessert (yum). This morning started with big breakfast sandwiches (egg, sausage and cheese for me; egg and ham for my spouse) plus huge muffins! We have not tried the packaged dinners but the lasagna smelled awesome the other night. Great value and friendly staff! Wish I thought to take a picture of breakfast today but it was gone too soon!”

“Cvs staff is nice. Went in for a quick purchase and pharmacy pickup. The way of picking things up is strange though I'm not used to using the touch screen so I was just standing at the counter until I figured it out.”

“I was in the mood for a snack and I happened to be on the road so when I saw this Circle K location I decided to stop and see what they had.I had never been to a Circle K before and I was pretty impressed with what I saw here. First of all the store was immaculate. The shelves and the products on them had no dust. Even the restroom was very clean. The doors to the beverage cooler were clean with no smudges or streaks on them.The product variety was very good and they had plenty of candy, bakery items, chips, chocolate, fruity snacks, beverages and more.I decided on a candy bar so I grabbed what I wanted and took it to the register area to pay. There was nobody in line so I was waited on immediately. The cashier was very nice and processed my transaction efficiently.Definitely stop by here for all of your convenience store needs when you are in the area.”

“I’ve been working in the area for a while now and Sam and his wife are so attentive when it comes to customer service. They made me fresh coffee every time and it’s always super tasty (try the Jamaican me crazy one). The store has a very good selection of beer and snacks and it is always very clean. Definitely my go to convenience store in the area. Sam is one of the best employees I’ve ever encountered and he always goes above and beyond! Check this place out if you’re in the area (they have a good selection of lotto tickets and vapes too!)”

“This is a great location! I had some issues with my debit card and the friendly younger woman (30s) with the long blond hair was so helpful! I didn't get her name, but she deserves a shout-out by your team on these pages for being a SUPER Employee! Hopefully you can recognize this great team member! Keith”

“We so appreciate the wonderful pharmacy staff.They are so pleasant and helpful. Gabe and Amelia have been lifesavers for me. Today Gabe was so kind and helpful. I was stressed over a problem with a prescription and he saved the day for me. Give that boy a raise!”

“Unfortunately I smoke cigarettes & due to the high cost I shop around. 7B has been the lowest (even cheaper than the smoke shop for a while now) They have a really good section of nicotine vapes as well- tons of brands, flavors, rechargeable, disposable. A huge selection of wraps, papers, and smoking accessories. They have a really good mix of candy, snacks, chips, ice cream, & soda all the time. They also carry a ton of different beer. Some frozen food, house hold items, and more. This place is literally a one stop shop. Parking a bit of a challenge. Let's talk about the local legal working at the bottle return- Micky himself runs that whole bottle return on his own and has for many many years. He literally can do it with his eyes closed. He's a honest man counting the bottles out loud. He's keeps the place super clean and he's been there so long. Most people go there because of Micky. Even know he's getting old and his health doesn't seem the best he's there 5 or 6 days a week. Like I said he runs the bottle return part on his own for a long time now & takes a lot of pride in doing so. He probably has more regular customers than most restaurants.”

“Just went this morning and ordered a chicken parm sandwich. Bread was perfectly toasted, cheese was perfectly melted, the chicken was perfectly crisped, and the service was really great. Quite a good sandwich and the price wasn’t bad at all”

“Good selection of Local and standard beers. Lots of interesting micro brews. Best liquor and wine selection at a reasonable price near the beach. The staff is always friendly!”

“I must admit I really love Circle K. First off there are many stores all over the state. In fact it seems like you see one on ever corner. I love the fact that you can pretty much purchase almost anything you might need in a pinch. Now realize that Circle K is a convenience store and more than likely you will find most grocery type items like milk, bread, etc...a few cents more than an the local market of your choosing. Another favorite here for me is the cheap quick eats, like pizza, hot dogs, sandwiches and of course their famous Polar Pop. They offer quick meal specials for $4 filling you up with either two Hot Dogs or a hot sandwich or two breakfast tacos or two slices of pizza and Circle K 2 oz. bag of chips and of couse the famous Polar Pop cup filled with your favorite beverage. I say the next time you drive by one, and you know you will, just stop in and check it out. Enjoy!”

“If you need a pharmacy in Old Orchard Beach, you don't have much choice; this Rite-Aid or head to another town. That being said, they don't take advantage of their monopoly situation. The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially in the pharmacy department. If you don't have drug coverage through insurance or Medicare, Rite-Aid has a discount program you can enroll into at no cost, just speak to a pharmacist. Besides medications, supplements and associated paraphernalia, they carry cosmetics, seasonal & holiday small items and some larger items, dairy products, "convenience" grocery and snack items, beer, wine, other alcohol, soft drinks, cigarettes and an assortment of gift items. If you're in the area, stop in. You are likely to find something you like, even if you didn't need it (not sure if that's a good or bad thing?) This Rite-Aid is also a Western Union location, which can be very handy in a pinch.”
